BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - During the pandemic, the Brazos County Health District daily reports the cumulative totals of cases and deaths by age group.
Using that data, a death “rate” can be calculated, showing what percentage of confirmed cases in an age group then result in virus-related death.
In October, December, and now March, that data is used to create the chart below:
